With the North Platte muddy, and the out-of-state crowd taking all the clear water, I went to one of the local lakes for some meat fish. Walleyes are always hard to catch. I'm not good at it and might not even be. We used jigs tipped with minnows to catch a mixed bag of trout, walleyes, and suckers. The suckers fight the hardest. Is it possible that they are the gamefish of the future? The sucker, a worthy opponent.

When I was a kid growing up in a Kentucky, spring sucker fishing in the creeks was a big deal. My dad, a mountain boy from southeastern KY, would chop suckers up and can them in Mason jars. The kitchen would stink to high heaven. But later that summer, the flakey sucker meat would be good on a saltine cracker, with a dab of Tabasco.
